Come race the train in our hometown of Durango. Climb 4000 feet to the top of Coal Bank Pass, descend a 1000 feet, climb another 1000 feet to the top of Molas Pass, then descend 2000 feet at 50 mph into Silverton on twist ymountain roads with breathtaking views. 50 miles of hero-making terrain. Oh yeah, there's a MTB XC and DH race, and a criterium,too. Memorial Day weekend for the last 30+ years.

Hosted by Fort Lewis College, the Durango Fall Blaze offers three different tour options, including a 37-mile, 60-mile, and 100-mile ride. All proceeds benefit the Tom Danielson Scholarship Fund at Fort Lewis College, which is dedicated to rising young cyclists. Each scholarship recipient must possess a love for the sport, maintain a 2.7 or higher grade point average, and must be an active community member.
